Summer is in full swing, and thus the farmers’ market is bursting at the seams with lovely produce. I restrained myself by only getting the following:
- Onions (red, green, yellow)
- green peppers
- basil
- baby bok choy
- green beans
- a mixed bag of summer squash
- tomatoes
- cherry tomatoes
- button mushrooms
- white nectarines
- pluots
Michael and I have been two very busy engineers lately, between product releases and his mum visiting, so we haven’t been cooking at home as much lately (and I’ve been very bad about updating this with what we are actually cooking). Summer’s here, and our releases are over for now, and we have no houseguests planned for awhile, so we can actually cook again. I’m looking forward to it.
- Sunday: beef fajitas, guacamole, tortilla chips
- Monday: I’ll be on a business trip, so Michael’s on his own
- Tuesday: spicy green beans, steamed rice
- Wednesday: five-spice chicken, steamed bok choy, steamed rice
- Thursday: dinner with friends
- Friday: summer squash gratin
- Saturday: dinner out, since we’ve got tickets to American Idiot
All of the meals are pretty quick to put together, which is good given how busy this week is.
